Can we have green stars instead? :smiley:

A pro sheep!

As far as I’m concerned, I’m in favor of supporting the app.
Two disturbing things:

  • the word “pro”, I’d prefer something else. A pro can like a rum, give an excellent review, but it’s not a “professional” opinion, just a personal taste. Example: the large number of times I don’t agree at all with Serge Valentin, I just don’t have the same tastes! I respect his tastes, mine aren’t bad tastes because I’m not a professional blogger, just different.
  • the lists function should remain in the free version, as it was before, at least for a certain number of lists.

I agree. The functionality that is free/pro needs maybe a bit more balancing.

User prices should remain visible in free mode – otherwise what’s the incentive for free users to enter their prices? The paywall could lead to less data being available to everyone. Auction prices however is a nice pro feature. But user prices are supplied by users and should remain accessible to all.

How about instant access to hidden areas :wink: in the forum for pro users? Without the conditions that normally apply? :thinking: Maybe even an additional “pro-corner”.

I second the notion that “pro” as in “professional” can be misleading and maybe even harmful in the sense that it may be misunderstood as “commercial” activity. Supporter, patron, subscriber … all those are taken but reflect the idea better than “pro”. The “pro” badge has mixed reviews and I also agree. How about just a star :star: badge? Sais “I’m special” without saying “I’m a professional”. Or maybe a collection of badges to choose from (if that’s possible with the discourse software): :star: :heart: :tumbler_glass: :sheep:

Totally agree. I am having the exact same opinion on the user prices. And I don’t like how the Pro-Status is displayed in the app as well. Shouldn’t be gold and shouldn’t be called pro. If these two things change, I will enter the subscription, but for now it doesn’t feel right to me.

I am a newbie to the app, and to a large extent to rum as well (really got into it 2 years ago). Wish I’d joined sooner though, made quite a bit of bad choices in buying rum that could’ve been avoided if I had access to the app earlier.

I totally appreciate that @Oliver needs to make this commercially viable, so I fully support it. I am certain 2-3 good purchases of rum based off advice on the forum and it’ll be an easy RoI for me at least.

PS: Keen to see what new features are in store.

Great thought! I’ve just opened a separate topic for this and am happy to hear your opinions:

As of next month I’ll support Olivier also.

Many of us here are in IT and know that an app/website/hobby project can put strain on your financial situation as well as on the personal/private level. Keep up the good work!

@Oliver can you please have another look at the ‘forum disappearing within app’ issue I reported ?
Dont get me wrong, this is in no way a condition to become ‘Plus’ but it would really up the experience.
It’s a REALLY annoying issue… :woozy_face:

@Oliver really like the RX+ over the PRO and as well the fruitful discussion that led to the change.
Just a small note, the PRO badge still appears on the profile in the tasting notes section

Just as a side note, as I just tried the buy option in the app for the first time: maybe make the info about the delivery code (i. E. DHL and whatever, so we can find the status and possible arrival date easier) in the app mandatory for shops. :wink:
